During this period-a lot of collection of oral literature was made and many critical works were published on oral and written literature. It is therefore necessary at this juncture to assess whether the efforts made so far have been in the right direction.

In doing so we are going to identify certain problems confronting the study of Yoruba literature and propose solutions to these problems.
